* mac80211: remove user_power_level from driver APIJohannes Berg2009-01-293-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | I missed this during review of "mac80211: Fix tx power setting", the user_power_level shouldn't be available to the driver but rather be an internal value used to calculate the value for the driver.

* mac80211: Disallow to set multicast BSSIDAlina Friedrichsen2009-01-291-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Okay, here is the first of the five patches. After applying all of them you should be able to build/join huge city mesh networks (e.g. with the OLSR protocol) with the most of the mac80211 wireless drivers by setting a fixed BSSID in the ad hoc mode. (If you found no other bug/problem.) This was not specified in the original standard, but is a widely used de facto standard. The first patch now completely disallow to set multicast MAC addresses as BSSID. The behavior before was really strange. Signed-off-by: Alina Friedrichsen <x-alina@gmx.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: implement dynamic power saveKalle Valo2008-12-195-12/+97
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements dynamic power save for mac80211. Basically it means enabling power save mode after an idle period. Implementing it dynamically gives a good compromise of low power consumption and low latency. Some hardware have support for this in firmware, but some require the host to do it. The dynamic power save is implemented by adding an timeout to ieee80211_subif_start_xmit(). The timeout can be enabled from userspace with Wireless Extensions. For example, the command below enables the dynamic power save and sets the time timeout to 500 ms: iwconfig wlan0 power timeout 500m Power save now only works with devices which handle power save in firmware. It's also disabled by default and the heuristics when and how to enable is considered as a policy decision and will be left for the userspace to handle. In case the firmware has support for this, drivers can disable this feature with IEEE80211_HW_NO_STACK_DYNAMIC_PS. Big thanks to Johannes Berg for the help with the design and code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a preparation for the dynamic power save support. In future there are two paths to stop the master queues and we need to track this properly to avoid starting queues incorrectly. Implement this by adding a status array for each queue.

* mac80211: Disable requests for new scans in AP modeJouni Malinen2008-12-121-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | AP mode operations are seriously affected if mac80211 runs through a multi-second scan while the AP is trying to send Beacon frames on the operation channel. While this could be implemented in a way that does not cause too many problems, it is not very simple and will require synchronization with Beacon frame scheduling in the drivers (scan one channel at a time between Beacon frames). Furthermore, such scanning takes quite a bit longer time and existing userspace applications would be likely to timeout while waiting for the results. For now, just refuse requests for new scans (SIOCSIWSCAN) when in AP mode. In practice, this moves the rejection from iwl* drivers into mac80211 to make it apply to every mac80211-based driver. This issue shows up in associated stations getting disconnected when something (e.g., Network Manager) requests a scan while the interface is in AP mode. When doing this continuously (e.g., NM does it every 120 seconds), the network gets close to useless.

| * mac80211: use unaligned safe memcmp() in-place of compare_ether_addr()Shaddy Baddah2008-12-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After fixing zd1211rw: use unaligned safe memcmp() in-place of compare_ether_addr(), I started to see kernel log messages detailing unaligned access: Kernel unaligned access at TPC[100f7f44] sta_info_get+0x24/0x68 [mac80211] As with the aforementioned patch, the unaligned access was eminating from a compare_ether_addr() call. Concerned that whilst it was safe to assume that unalignment was the norm for the zd1211rw, and take preventative measures, it may not be the case or acceptable to use the easy fix of changing the call to memcmp(). My research however indicated that it was OK to do this, as there are a few instances where memcmp() is the preferred mechanism for doing mac address comparisons throughout the module.

* | mac80211: add sta_notify_ps callbackChristian Lamparter2008-12-051-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is necessary in order to provide a proper Access point support for p54. Unfortunately for us, there is no documented way to disable the interfering power save buffering mechanism in firmware completely. Therefore we give in and notify the driver through our new sta_notify_ps callback, so that we can update the filter state.
